Description
2-Hydroxy-4-aminobutanoic acid is an amino hydroxy carboxylic acid with empirical formula C₄H₉NO₃ and CAS number 13477-53-7. It has a molar mass of 119,12 g/mol. The bifunctional structure, combining a hydroxyl group with a primary amine on a short aliphatic chain, supports work in amino-acid analogue chemistry, peptide-related research and intermediate preparation. This material is suitable for method development, reference use and exploratory synthesis where a defined C₄ amino acid derivative is required. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product fits routine inventory needs in academic and industrial laboratories handling specialty biochemicals. Clear CAS identification and molar-mass data facilitate accurate weighing, solution preparation and documentation in experimental protocols. Researchers may employ 2-hydroxy-4-aminobutanoic acid in pathway studies, building-block libraries or comparative analyses of hydroxylated amino acids. Consistent specification of identity and pack size helps maintain reproducible workflows across organic and life-science settings.

Questions about 2-Hydroxy-4-aminobutanoic acid, 25 g
What is this article?
2-Hydroxy-4-aminobutanoic acid, 25 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
